Chapter 1481: The Battle of Xuzhou (78)
Cao Jun and Xuzhou Army are blocked together, no one can break through each other from the front, after several repeated competitions, Cao Ren can be regarded as a thorough understanding, and I don't know if Zhang Fei deliberately did this, but even if it is unintentional, it must be done by taking advantage of the trend, otherwise, Zhang Fei will not be in the case of the advantage of the coalition army, and suddenly think about going straight to the Chinese army, isn't this self-defeating, but now it seems that this is not the case, but they are caught in the endless struggle with the Xuzhou army, And let Zhang Fei's free hand to attack the enemy's middle without any scruples, which made their side extremely stressed, and at the same time, the Shouchun army paid countless casualties to resist the impact of the Xuzhou army on Zhang Xun's army.
If all this is Zhang Fei's intention, it can only be said that this opponent is too terrifying, and if he follows the trend as expected, then his observation of the battle situation can also be described as terrifying.
It can be said that the current situation makes him extremely unwilling, if under such a big advantage, it is not possible to end the battle as soon as possible, but let the Xuzhou army succeed in the surprise attack, even if it still wins in the end, this battle still can't be explained, not only upward, but also to the soldiers, especially every dead soldier, can not be explained!
They could have easily won, they could have not had to sacrifice, this time it was all his fault, Cao Ren thought in his heart, and Zhang Xun, who was in command of the battle in the Chinese army, didn't think so in his heart.
Although he insisted on not retreating and changed the passive situation, this was only to suspend the speed of Zhang Fei's breakthrough, and Bin could not change the current unfavorable situation, so he had to find a way to come up with a way to defeat the enemy, only in this way could he really change the current unfavorable situation.
Suddenly, an idea instantly appeared in Zhang Xun's eyes, now he is just constantly blocking, this kind of blocking is actually not a big threat to Zhang Fei, he can attack recklessly without a threat, and he has no worries, so he must put pressure on him, so that he can't attack easily.
On the one hand, on the other, on the other, under the double pressure, he didn't believe that Zhang Fei dared to continue to attack. When the time comes, let him have no return!
Zhang Xun immediately ordered to send a section of the Chinese army to attack Zhang Fei and his cavalry from the flank.
Dealing with cavalry, although Zhang Xun is not completely sure, let alone has his own experience like Liyi, but don't forget, what is the disadvantage of cavalry, how can a general like him not know. That's why he chose to attack from the flanks rather than from behind.
Cavalry, it is never possible to go straight forward, he wants to turn around, first of all, there must be a certain amount of vertical space, and if he sends troops to copy Zhang Fei's back road, then for the cavalry, this is no threat at all, but if they control their two wings, they can only advance, which means that they have no possibility of retreating.
And as long as the cavalry was free of the fear of falling in, he believed that even if there was no fierce attack, they would be completely dealt with here.
Because then, they will have no way back.
Zhang Xun was very satisfied with his deployment, and even disdained Cao Ren's proposal just now, it turned out that whether it was Cao Ren or Zhang Fei's martial arts, they were only martial artists after all, and their grasp of the battle situation may be very keen, but there are still natural limitations in the judgment of the battlefield.
It depends on the horizon, as if the Yellow Turban Army could never become a climate, they are all a bunch of reckless men and peasants, what do you know? A little trickery will fall short, and if you look at the princes who can do it, they may not have much combat experience, but it only takes a day or two to turn the situation around.
That's the gap.
Frankly speaking, Zhang Xun is still full of conceit, if it weren't for this reason, his relationship with Ji Ling would not be so bad, if Shou Chunjun and the two could work together, then Yuan Shu really felt invincible in the world, and it would not be the current situation and situation.
But this is also a helpless thing, as if you can never let the literati of this era have too much favor for the warriors, as if it is impossible for the people to have much affection for the merchants.
This kind of discrimination is deep in the bones, it is necessary to change the concept and change the secular prejudice, Liu Lan is trying to make businessmen and workers more status, discrimination he has done a good job, although this is related to the link in Xuzhou, but Liu Lan does not agree, for example, under Liu Lan's rule, it is obvious that the status of military generals is better than that of civilian personnel.
And this, in fact, is completely because of Liu Lan's military background, so the really large-scale literati will not serve in front of his account, and they are often small officials, and these people naturally don't care whether Liu Lan is a military group or not.
And looking at Zhang Xun at this moment, he is the most typical civil servant turned martial artist in this era, so he is disdainful of martial arts, and even at this moment, he feels that even without Cao Ren, he can achieve the final victory.
However, no matter how conceited he is, he will not be conceited to the point that no one is in sight, after all, if it were not for Cao Ren to drag the main force of the Xuzhou army, then Zhang Fei would not become struggling under his deployment, if Zhang Fei's cavalry could have infantry to help at this time, then the situation would be different.
Therefore, Cao Ren's ability to hold back the Xuzhou infantry still played a great role, otherwise, he may really be in danger here, if he is defeated, then the Cao army here may not have any good fruit, after all, he is defeated, and they will have to get out of the way in the end.
That's the truth, no matter whether it's nice or bad, Zhang Xun at this moment is full of confidence in the final victory, and even issued an order to attack Zhang Fei's cavalry at the same time to the defenders who are defending in formation. This time he is not conservative, and he does not have to be conservative anymore, if he can't win this, he can't take Zhang Fei, then it's good to admit defeat directly in this battle, and continue to insist on the snake spear, waiting for Guan Yu's main force to come over and eliminate them all one by one?
For Guan Yu, he had a confrontation with him in Jiujiang not long ago, although he didn't suffer a big loss, but the Setshan camp impressed him too deeply, it was an enemy that you felt invincible from the bottom of your heart, and fighting with such an enemy brought only despair.
At present, Zhang Fei and his cavalry are different, not only saw the dawn of victory, but saw the result of victory, the troops launched a fierce attack on the enemy, like a shower to kill the enemy, and the Shouchun army outflanking had just arrived at this time.
The cooperation is a little different, but it is harmless, everything is in his plan, even if there are no colleagues to attack, as long as the main force attacks head-on in the end, and the flanks compress the cavalry fear, then the cavalry will not have any threat, and this is what he wants to see the most.
The two armies began to storm the enemy at the same time, and as Zhang Xun said, the cavalry could only move forward for a moment, leaving them with no other choice but to kill or be killed.
There is only one option to advance, you can imagine that the battlefield at this moment, whether it is the Xuzhou army or the Shouchun army, they have paid an extremely heavy price, but none of the soldiers on both sides retreated, and they still rushed to each other without fear of death.
Brutal and bloody.
This is the engagement in the age of cold weapons.
The cavalry has become a little precarious, it can be said that the command of the cavalry is undoubtedly Zhang Fei's shortcoming, although he has followed Liu Lan for many years, but he does not have much experience in really commanding the cavalry, otherwise, in fact, it is not necessarily Zhao Yun's turn, although this is Zhang Fei's own joke, but it is an indisputable fact.
He used cavalry, only knew how to blindly rush and kill, and he really didn't know much about the combat habits of cavalry.
And Zhang Xun, who saw this scene, was already overjoyed, he was full of confidence in his good strategy to break the enemy, and at this moment he was even more convinced of his original thoughts, the small one was extraordinarily brilliant, the defeat of the Xuzhou cavalry and Zhang Fei was decided, and now he wanted to pay attention to a sentence not how to defeat Zhang Fei and the Xuzhou army, but how to help Cao Cao as soon as possible after this, to deal with the dragoons, only by defeating the two major forces of Xuzhou as soon as possible, they had the possibility of planning to fight with Guan Yu after Guan Yu appeared.
Otherwise, they still don't have much chance of winning this battle.
Now, he's going to have to be patient, hoping that it won't take too much time to defeat Zhang.
The current situation makes Zhang Fei a bit of a dilemma, maybe such a situation will have scruples for others, and he has to consider the back road, but for him, it has completely become a road in Huashan, since this is the case, then there is nothing to consider, kill and take out, cut down the military flag of Shouchun Army and Zhang Xun!
There is no way to choose, but it makes Zhang Fei and the cavalry have a sense of death, whether they can live for the time being, but under the offensive, it is more rapid, especially as time goes by, he finds that the enemy's offensive seems to be much worse than before.
I have to say that the soldiers of the Shouchun Army are still inexperienced, after all, most of them are new recruits, if they are replaced by the experienced Cao Jun, I am afraid that any efforts they make now will be in vain, but now, they have to fight for victory.
Therefore, Cao Ren's ability to hold back the Xuzhou infantry still played a great role, otherwise, he may really be in danger here, if he is defeated, then the Cao army here may not have any good fruit, after all, he is defeated, and they will have to get out of the way in the end.
